- Wondering why Congressman Kucinich has withdrawn his
impeachment resolution against Cheney, and dropped out of impeachment in
general? Wondering why the Los Angeles impeachment center has decided to
liquidate itself and shut down? Wondering why impeachment meetups across
the US are folding? Wondering why so many left-liberal spokesmen are dropping
the impeachment issue like a hot potato?
-
- All signs suggest that the demagogic needs of the Obama
presidential campaign provide the answer. Impeachment is being sabotaged
by left-wing Democrats now moving to support Obama so as to spare the messianic
Illinois senator the political embarrassment of having to comment on a
serious impeachment effort, which his craven rejection of political struggle
makes a taboo. In effect, Obama's phobia against impeachment is even stronger
than Hillary's.
-
- As is well known, Obama's fatuous utopian rhetoric promises
a golden age and earthly paradise of political harmony in which all real
conflicts will be magically neutralized and submerged by the senator's
personal charisma. Above all, partisan political clashes will be forbidden.
Well, the impeachment of Bush-Cheney is a vital necessity for the future
survival of representative government in this country, but carrying it
out will necessarily be a rather acrimonious and partisan business. Obama
cannot tolerate such a messy process, which might interfere with his ability
to float like a seraph above the ignorant armies who clash by night. Struggle
in any form is not part of Obama's playbook; it might upset Goldman Sachs,
Soros, and his other Wall Street contributors to say nothing of the
fussy independent voters upon whom Obama's future rests. It might not play
well in the wealthy suburbs. It might spoil his carefully cultivated apolitical,
post-partisan image.
-
- Therefore, it is clear, the word has gone out to Obama's
leftist backers: impeachment must be dumped, betrayed, sandbagged, and
sabotaged without further ado. That is what is now happening. Congressman
Kucinich shocked his supporters by telling them to support Obama on the
second go-round in the Iowa caucuses. Now he has dropped out of the race
and abandoned his own signature issue.
-
- Every vote for Obama is a vote to take impeachment off
the agenda forever. Obama supporters should get ready to live with
those Bush-Cheney precedents, signing statements, and practices of entrenched
totalitarian corruption for the rest of their lives. If Obama wins the
day, there will be no question of impeachment, the only way to wipe the
slate clean of all the Bush-Cheney obscenities. Obama and impeachment are
incompatible. Impeachment supporters should dump the Illinois senator
the cause of impeachment is far more important than the vapid slogans dished
up by Zbigniew Brzezinski's puppet Obama.
